An unexpected trip to Winchester today.  Ron was over from the US and Jon went down to catch up with him and Mark.  It must have been a good night as Jon left his phone there!  Plans abandoned to go to Southampton and mission “Rescue Phone” was put into operation!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We decided to catch the train rather than drive and figure out the car parks.  All pretty straight forward!  Thatcham to Reading then onto Winchester.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We had a wander around the outside of the Cathedral before meeting up with Ron and Mark for lunch in The Old Vine<\/strong><\/a> which overlooks the Cathedral and grounds.\u00a0 Lovely lunch, great catch up and a teeny bit of mickey taking at Jon’s expense!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At Mark’s recommendation, we visited the Great Hall and Round Table<\/strong><\/a> – we hadn’t previously been here before. It’s a very impressive Medieval Hall with huge Round Table.\u00a0 The stained glass windows were impressive with monarchs and other notables permanently recorded.<\/p>\n\n\n
